After receiving Xu Yuyan and Zhu Chengze, the servant said to Li Changhe: "Madame, please go to the side hall to wait." ”

Li Changhe glanced at Xu Yuyan and Zhu Chengze, who were walking in front, and it was difficult to calm down.

Su Yi saw that he was holding a box in his hand and suspected that he was here to deliver something, so he said to Zhu Chengze: "Let's go to the side hall with my brother-in-law." ”

Hearing this, Li Changhe was even more embarrassed.

And Li Xiangya and Zhu Changya heard that Prince An Le was coming, and they were also busy with the reception, and when they saw that both of them were going to Li Changhe to go to the side hall together, they could only receive Li Changhe, who was arranged to go to the side hall, in advance.

"Father, do you have anything important to do with your brother?"

"Zhenwen is accompanying Xu Ge to chant poetry today, and he won't be able to come back until later."

The warm hospitality of his daughter and daughter-in-law made Li Changhe very embarrassed, and he squeezed a smile and said, "It's nothing, I just came to thank you, thank you for attending the family ceremony." ”

"Father doesn't have to be polite."

Zhu Changya smiled.

Li Changhe was even more embarrassed.

After greeting each other with tea, he took out the lotus necklace that Ai Xinlian gave him and handed it to Zhu Changya: "Yesterday Xinlian accidentally scared you, we were very unhappy, and after thinking about it for a long time, we decided to give you a small object as an apology." ”

"Is this a gift for me?"

Zhu Changya looked at the necklace in Li Changhe's hand, and her expression was a little subtle.

On that day, in Xu Yuyan's "New Moon" story, after Xinyue and Nu Dahai were together, they also gave a necklace to poor Saiya......

Zhu Changya remembers the follow-up to that story.

Because of the crescent moon necklace, Ji Yuan and Nu Dahai got into a fight.

Su Yi couldn't see through Li Changhe's meaning, and always felt that this necklace would cause more trouble.

Zhu Chengze saw that Su Yi was nervous and took the initiative to hold her hand.

The warmth of the palm soothed Su Yi's mood, took a deep breath, and decided to wait and see.

Zhu Changya has also turned countless thoughts here-

Finally, she smiled and took the necklace: "Thank you father and aunt for your kindness!" ”

The word "auntie", she said it very smoothly, but Li Changhe felt that it was extremely harsh, and at the same time, it was even more sarcastic.

Is it really worth paying so much for Axinlian?

However, Zhu Changya was ready to accept the necklace, but Li Xiangya was not happy.

"No way!"

She stood up suddenly, glaring at Li Changhe angrily: "Father, how far do you want to hurt us!" Such a humiliating gift, you still have the face to send it! ”

"This is a piece of Xinlian's heart!"

Li Changhe announced strongly.

Li Xiangya was too lazy to take care of him.

Li Changhe saw that his daughter didn't want to see him, and his mania flared up again, and he yelled at Li Xiangya: "Xinlian gave up the gift that she gave up, how can you waste it!" ”

"Then tell me how the necklace came about! Who's giving it to Axinline for what purpose! ”

Li Xiangya was afraid that Zhu Changya would be unhappy, so she didn't dare to make her words clear, but the hint in her words had already made Zhu Chengze frown, and said, "It's better not to give such a gift." ”

Zhu Changya said: "I want to accept this gift." ”

"Why?"

"It was meant to be mine." Zhu Changya said, "Zhenwen told me all the things of the year, I know the origin of the necklace, and I also know what the necklace represents, but I also know that Zhenwen no longer loves the owner of the necklace, and the feelings he placed on the necklace now belong to me!" ”

After speaking, Zhu Changya stretched out his hand and took away the necklace in Li Changhe's hand.

Li Changhe was stunned.

Once again, he couldn't help but compare Zhu Changya, Xu Yuyan, and Xu Xuanning, who was long gone, with Ai Xinlian, who was crying and crying with him in the morning!

They are so dignified and noble, intelligent and elegant, and she is ......

What kind of Gu did he fall into, to give up everything that he had achieved after twenty years of struggle for a woman who was not worthy at all!

Li Changhe once again regretted his former infatuation.

And Zhu Changya didn't have it empty after getting the necklace, so he handed it to the maid with his backhand, saying, "Smash it!" ”

"Why?"

Li Changhe asked.

After asking, he realized that he didn't ask "why"?!

"Because Zhenwen told me so," Zhu Changya said gently, "He no longer loves Ai Xinlian, if the old mansion sends something related to Ai Xinlian, just accept it, and then burn it and smash it, just as if it never existed." ”

"You-"

"If you can't accept it, you can just go!"

Li Xiangya said coldly: "The necklace has been given away, and it is no longer yours!" ”

"Alright! I'm leaving! ”

In order to cover up the embarrassment of running out of words, Li Changhe could only leave angrily.

Zhu Chengze added at this time: "Brother Li, did you really not think of the intention of the giver? ”

Hearing this, Li Changhe was shocked again and staggered out of the new general's mansion.

……

……

Back at the Li Mansion, Li Changhe wandered in the courtyard for a long time, and finally couldn't help but find Ai Xinlian.

Zhu Chengze's words made him contradictory and painful.

He repeatedly told himself not to doubt Ai Xinlian's intentions, but he couldn't do it, he knew too well his son's infatuation with Ai Xinlian, and he also knew too well the importance of the necklace to Li Zhenwen......

In a trance, Li Changhe walked into the fragrant building.

Ai Xinlian saw Li Changhe and immediately pounced, but when she saw that the man's face was very cold, she also became worried, and said, "What happened?" Did Zhenwen and Xiangya give you face again? ”

"No, they ......"

"You don't have to speak for them, I know they hate me, and I always take their hatred as my sin and deserve it, but you are their father, and they shouldn't treat you so much! Seeing you uncomfortable, I feel so distressed and sad......"

Ai Xinlian began to cry as usual.

Li Changhe did not hug Ai Xinlian as in the past, comforting her and pitying her.

Zhu Chengze's words lingered in his heart, making Li Changhe can't help but recall that Ai Xinlian's words and deeds have always been gentle, but they can always make him violent and offend people......

The more Li Changhe thought about it, the more flustered he became.

Ai Xinlian saw that Li Changhe no longer treated herself like before, and became more and more frightened: "Changhe, did I do something wrong?" Am I upsetting you? ”

"No ......"

Li Changhe raised his head and looked at the poor Ai Xinlian.

This weak and moving face was so hideous and cold at the moment, making him feel like falling into an ice cave.

All along, he has been driven by Ai Xinlian's tears, as long as she cries, he will do whatever she wants, even if he ends up in disrepute, he will become uncomplaining because of "true love".

For the sake of this woman, he lost his noble wife, lost his status as a general, and lost his bright future......

Li Changhe's memory once again returned to the night when Xu Xuanning "stumbled" and fell to his death.

When he saw Xuan Ning's corpse, he should have felt angry, why did he cry because Ai Xinlian threw herself into his arms——。

Thinking of this, Li Changhe was full of excitement.
